Google and LG still haven't officially revealed the smartphone though

Google and LG’s long-rumoured, yet still unannounced Nexus 5, could be ready for an Oct. 28 or 30 launch, according to a recent post on MobileSyrup. The Nexus 5’s release date was originally expected to be Oct. 15.

The phone will reportedly sell for somewhere between $349 and $399 USB for its 16 GB and 32 GB models (it will cost slightly more in Canada). The Nexus 4’s 8 GB model sells for $199 and the 16 GB is priced at $249.99. When it was first released, the Nexus 4 was sold at $299 for its 8 GB model and $349 for the 16 GB version.

The back of the Nexus 5 is apparently made of rubber, removing the sparkly back featured on the Nexus 4. Other than this change though the smartphone’s overall build seems very similar to the Nexus 4’s.

MobileSyrup got their hands on this Telus branded photograph of the Nexus 5.

The Nexus 5 is rumoured to feature a Snapdragon 800 chip, 2 GBs of RAM, a 2,300mAh battery and LTE support, a feature many people wanted from the Nexus 4.

This leaked Nexus 5 video from 9to5Google has been floating around for a few weeks now as well. Perhaps Google should just come out and state the phone actually exists, since we all basically know it does at this point.
